Angela told Mia about what had happened earlier, hoping to get her opinion.
Mia, who already felt that her life was complicated enough, found herself caught in a dilemma at this moment.
"Angela, your situation is really tough. Just when Mr. Bamford is being the best to you, Austin suddenly showed up. It's really tricky," Mia said, holding Leo in her arms and furrowing her brows in thought.
Angela collapsed onto the couch, staring at the ceiling in deep thought. If she agreed to break up with Dexter, he would be utterly heartbroken.
Their relationship would be irreparably damaged. In fact, it might be even worse. Dexter's pride would prevent them from ever crossing paths again.
After all, he was the one being abandoned. To him, it was the greatest humiliation.
Yet, if she didn't break up with him, she would miss her last chance to see Genevieve. When it came to life and death, everything else should be secondary. She was conflicted, but it felt like she was gradually leaning toward one decision.
At this moment, she suddenly recalled the night she agreed to a three-month trial relationship with Dexter. He had been so touched when she'd agreed.
She was far from heartless. She experienced pain just as deeply as she felt joy. The thought of causing him pain time and time again was unbearable for her.
"Does he really have to force you to break up with Dexter? People always say one shouldn't come between two people in love. Why is Austin doing the opposite? Shouldn't he be prioritizing your happiness?" Mia sighed softly.
"He doesn't trust my judgment. Maybe he still thinks I'm the same person I was years ago and that I haven't changed at all," Angela replied helplessly.
"In that case, you should make Austin realize how much you've changed. Take him to visit your company. When he sees how differently others treat you now, he might finally believe it," Mia suggested excitedly.
Angela was momentarily taken aback, but then her eyes sparkled with excitement. "Do you really think that could work?"
